A number of felony charges related to selling illegal drugs were filed last week by the Fifth Judicial District Prosecuting Attorney's office.

Several arrests have already been made in conjunction with those charges, mostly related to the selling of methamphetamine or crack cocaine. In felony bond hearings Monday, a dozen suspects appeared before District Judge Don Bourne, nine of whom are suspected of selling or intending to sell drugs.

Kimberly Rager, 31, was ordered held in lieu of a $100,000 bond for two charges of delivery of methamphetamine. Court documents state Rager allegedly sold meth to confidential informants twice on Sept. 23.

Also suspected of selling meth was J'sha Williams, 31, who faces three felony charges for transactions that allegedly occurred in October, once of which included the sale of more than 10 grams of meth, according to the deputy prosecutor. Her bond was set at $200,000.

Wendell Chisum, 49, also received a $200,000 on two charges of delivery of meth. He told Bourne he has four prior felony convictions and is on parole.

Nicole Chisum, formerly Nicole Jones, 29, allegedly sold meth to confidential informants twice in October. She received a $20,000 bond.

Also receiving a $20,000 bond was Melinda Rapp, who is accused of selling meth to confidential informants twice in November. Each transaction allegedly involved the exchange of 3.5 grams of meth for $240 and $250, respectively.

Two suspects were arrested on charges of selling crack cocaine. Jovonna Willis, 44, allegedly sold crack cocaine to confidential informants on two occasions in November. Her bond was set at $100,000.

Reginal Walls, 30, received a $50,000 bond for delivery of a controlled substance. Testimony from an Arkansas State Police narcotics investigator alleged agents, working with a confidential informant, purchased more than 10 grams of crack cocaine from Walls.

Amanda Thomas, 32, faced several possible charges in addition to two counts of delivery of a controlled substance for allegedly selling meth to confidential informants in August.

A Drug Task Force agent testified Monday officers serving a warrant at Thomas' residence were met at the door by Randall Rapp, 34, who allegedly attempted to slam the door shut and ran upstairs. Officers followed Randall Rapp into the residence and took him and Thomas, who was also present, into custody.

Officers found methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia, two firearms, marijuana, pills and cash in the residence.

Thomas received a bond of $100,000 on charges of delivery of a controlled substance and suspicion of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of firearms by certain persons.

Randall Rapp was ordered held on $200,000 bond and is suspected of simultaneous possession of drugs and firearms, two counts of possession with intent to deliver, possession of firearms by certain persons and possession of drug paraphernalia.

All suspects are scheduled to appear Jan. 19 in Circuit Court. For more from Monday's bond hearings, see page 2A.
